To determine the prevalence and serovars of Salmonella in free-ranging deer, we cultured feces from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) harvested by hunters during a regular firearm season in southeastern Nebraska (USA). We recovered Salmonella from 5 (1%; 95% confidence interval: 0.37-2.20%) of 500 samples and identified four different Salmonella enterica serovars [Litchfield (1), Dessau (1), Infantis (2), and Enteritidis (1)]. Although the prevalence of Salmonella in free-ranging deer appears to be low, the serovars recovered are known to be pathogenic to humans and animals.
为了确定自由放养鹿群中沙门氏菌的流行率和血清型，我们在美国内布拉斯加州东南部的一个常规火器狩猎季节，培养了猎人捕获的白尾鹿（弗吉尼亚鹿）的粪便。我们从500份样本中的5份（1%；95%置信区间：0.37 - 2.20%）中分离出了沙门氏菌，并鉴定出四种不同的肠炎沙门氏菌血清型[利奇菲尔德（1株）、德绍（1株）、婴儿型（2株）和肠炎型（1株）]。虽然自由放养鹿群中沙门氏菌的流行率似乎较低，但所分离出的血清型已知对人和动物具有致病性。
